Objectives/Interrogation: Our purpose was to determine the correlation of initial radiographic parameters of distal radius fracture with the presence of associated injury of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC).

Methods: In a prospective study, 85 patients with surgically treated distal radius fracture were included. Wrist arthroscopy was used to identify and classify TFCC lesions. Initial radial length and angulation, dorsal angulation, ulnar variance and distal radioulnar distance were measured.

Results and Conclusions: Wrist arthroscopy identified TFCC lesion in 45 patients. Statistical analysis did not identify a correlation of any single radiographic parameter of the distal radius fracture with the associated TFCC lesion, as well as the type of the TFCC lesion. In between the group with intact and the group with injured TFCC there was no significant difference of the initial radiographic characteristics of the distal radius fracture. The initial radiography of the distal radius fracture was not a significant predictor of associated TFCC injury.
